Chevrolet Corvette C1 and Corvette C2 by Wheelsandmore

Posted on 13 November, 2014

Wheelsandmore 1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Front Two stunning beauties for sale, which have been refined very expensive, in very high quality and with great attention to detail. Both cars are complete rebuilds without mileage, inside and out – technically and visually new.

Candidate 1:

Chevrolet Corvette C1 1961 in a two-tone metallic paint. In a subtle grey, the combination with the GMC Red effect is strictly made for the vehicle. The interior is based on the vehicle exterior color, is naturally processed just as high quality and provides, together with the black fabric hood, an excellent transition. The heart of this dream car, a 5,7l-V8 LS1 with 385PS / 550Nm from the Corvette C5 and a stainless steel exhaust system from Magnaflow, provide enormous propulsion. Delaying by Porsche-Brembo brake system, designed for the most technical claims, it‘s also visually pleasing to the eye. With a coilover suspension by QA1 and opulent 20 inch-wheels from Breyton, the overall picture is rounded off very consistent.

Candidate 2:

A coilover suspension by QA1, multiple 20-inch forged wheels by wheelsandmore and lots of chrome, give authentic retro charme of the 60s and complete the overall picture very consistent.
